In today’s episode, Prem acknowledges that while the flat may be small, their love is immense. He and Rahi cherish their time together. Meanwhile, Parag confides in Khyati about his efforts to connect with Prem, expressing his frustration that Prem seems unaware of his intentions. He admits he has never voiced his happiness about Prem’s return, but fears that in his absence, Prem might take over the family business. Parag pleads with Khyati to intervene and prevent Prem from making decisions that could leave him devastated, and Khyati comforts him.
Later, Prem asks Rahi if he can spend the night at the Shah house. Khyati tries to persuade him to stay home, reminding him of his responsibilities to Parag and Baa. When Prem questions Khyati’s intentions, suggesting she’s acting like an assistant to Parag, Anupama learns about the couple’s plan to live separately after their marriage.
Meeta confronts Khyati, questioning her motives in pursuing Prem. Khyati defends herself, saying that as a mother, she feels compelled to keep trying until Prem returns home. Anupama later confronts Prem about his decision to remain separated after the wedding. Hasmuk and Leela also press him for answers, with Paritosh questioning why someone would choose to leave a comfortable lifestyle for a small flat. Leela voices her frustration, stating that Prem is stirring up tensions between both families.
Prem explains to Anupama that his choice to stay separate comes from a desire to keep Rahi happy, but Anupama warns him not to neglect his family responsibilities after marriage. In a charged exchange, Vasundhara accuses Anupama and Rahi of influencing Prem’s decision, to which Prem responds, calling out Vasundhara for faking illness and expressing his feelings of betrayal. He informs Baa that, while the wedding will occur at the Kothari house, he intends to leave afterward. Baa remarks that Anupama might have encouraged him to leave, rather than asked him to stay.
Hasmuk questions why Prem prefers a middle-class lifestyle, while Pakhi suggests that adopting them might be Parag’s way of punishing him. Disappointed, Leela expresses her discontent with Prem’s choices, and Pakhi decides that Ishani should fit into Parag’s household.
Meanwhile, Rahi expresses to Anupama her desire to reunite Prem with his family. Anupama discusses the matter, emphasizing that it will ultimately be up to Prem and Rahi to decide how to proceed after their marriage. Though she admits she does not fully understand the Kothari family dynamics, she agrees to the alliance for Rahi’s sake.
In a conversation with Rahi, Khyati shares her belief that Parag and Baa genuinely love Prem. She confides her wish to mend the rift between Parag and Prem and urges Rahi to persuade Prem to return home.
**Preview:** Baa asks Hasmuk to wash Prem’s feet as part of the wedding ritual, but Anupama steps in, offering to perform the ritual on Anuj’s behalf.
